Leslie O'Brien Fleetwood-Smith, was known for troubling the batsmen with googly and the 'chinaman'. 'Chuck,' picked up 42 Test wickets in a career made up of 10 Tests. He was even more successful in First-Class cricket by snaffling 597 scalps.

Fleetwood-Smith, is fondly remembered for the 10-wicket haul that he took against Australia in the 1936-37 Ashes. England had won the first two Tests and it was Fleetwood-Smith's rich haul that gave Australia the momentum and they went on to make a sterling comeback to win the series 3-2.

Fleetwood-Smith played his last series in the Ashes 1938. He would have mixed memories from that series. The 7-for he took at Leeds took England to a convincing win. However, he had the misfortune of recording figures of 1 for 298 when England amassed a mammoth total of 903 for 7 at The Oval. England won that game by a believe-it-or-not margin of an innings and 579 runs. This also turned out to be his last Test for Australia.
